Author Robert Fisch to share Holocaust experience through artwork at St. Paul cathedral event

Retired University of Minnesota professor of pediatrics and author Robert Fisch also creates paintings and other artwork.

He’s also a Holocaust survivor and will “share a narrative of his experiences through eloquent paintings, moving prose and music offered by the [St. Paul] Cathedral chamber orchestra” at a special program at the cathedral on Oct. 21.

“The Fisch presentation is important to bring to the Cathedral from the standpoint that for centuries, cathedrals have been a place where the arts and humanities meet,” said Robert Ridgell, director of sacred music for the Cathedral of Saint Paul, a released statement.

“In the case of Dr. Fisch’s art and his presentation, ‘A Lesson of Love – Remain Humane Even in Inhumane Circumstances,’ it allows our community to witness the love of God and neighbor.”
